Stargazer Lily
Stargazers are a type of Oriental Lily and are white with pink markings. There are 5 to 8 blooms on each stem and each bloom is about 5 inches across. When you receive an arrangement from a quality florist with Stargazers in it the open flowers will have the anthers (the small orange things in the picture above) pulled off. However, not all the blooms will be open when you receive the arrangement so, as the buds open it is a good idea to take a tissue and pull the anthers off. This will prevent the orange pollen from causing any stains. All types of Lilies mean purity, majesty, wealth, pride, and innocence. The Stargazer Lily in particular means Ambition.

Iris is an intricate looking flower with 3 inner petals and 3 outer petals. They can be blue, purple, white, or yellow. We usually have the blue or purple variety here at the shop. Iris come to us tight in a bud (like in the picture below) they open when they are left at room temperature. When they are fully open you can see the 6 distinct petals.
Iris has many different meanings including:
Inspiration
A message for you
Faith
Wisdom & Valor
Hope
Good Luck gift for a man
Emblem of a Warrior
Your friendship means so much to me
My Compliments

Snapdragon
Snapdragons are also known as Dragon Flower or Snow Dragon. They can be White, Lavender, Purple, Pink, Magenta, Red, Peach, Orange, Yellow, or Bicolor. Snapdragons are fun and whimsical looking flowers and are used as the line flower in arrangements. Snapdragons are very sensitive to ethylene gas (the gas produced by ripening fruit) so be careful not to keep them too close to your fruit bowl.
